Who has had experience with this drug? My doc said it should help my anxiety. He wanted to try this first then kolonopin unroll I pull out of this episode. So anything good bad about it. Thanks

Yes, it's supposed to... It's originally an anti-convulsant. Also called Neurontin. People seem to like it from what I've heard.

I took it for nerve pain. It left me unable to function. I always had a buzzed feeling. Light headed and sort of tired. Couldn't remember things.

I had to stop it.

Hmm interesting views. I just took it about 30 min ago and no real change. Oh well I'll wait it out.

I take it for Fibro .. The first few days or a weeks it usually knocks you out/ buzz feeling. My husband just started it a couple weeks ago for nerve pain , hes been wacky looney and relaxed for a few hours.

Hope it helps your anxiety

I took it for anxiety and back pain. It really helped, unfortunately I got weird cystic acne from it. So I stopped but I think that's are rare side effect.

I have used it specificlly for anxiety and for me it does definetly help. I take 400mg three times a day when anxious. I hope you find something that works for you. Anxiety is a biotch
